Kid in a neon races kid in a mustang. Kid in the mustang, who chose to street race, lost control all by himself and killed himself and his girl. Kid in the neon who had no physical interaction with the other people’s deaths gets sentenced to 3 years behind bars for manslaughter.
Having a good lawyer vs freely talking to the police without a lawyer.
But yeah, pretty upsetting that she only got 6 months (4 with good behavior) of weekend jail. So about 35 days in jail on something she could have got 7 years.
This is why people need to pay more attention to the judge selections when voting.
He is out of jail and still owns the neon. He got fucked hard in his case, this is a perfect example of why our system blows and is a fucking joke. I feel as if 95% of the people in our government are incompetent.
The other big hole is that if you’re drunk and hit something, you’re better off taking off. Leaving the scene is a slap on the wrist compared to DWI. If that wasn’t the case that doctor may have had more incentive to stop and try to save the skateboarder’s life last week…
Not correct at all since they fixed that loophole a while ago. Now leaving the scene of a fatal accident is the same class felony as DWI with a fatality.

truth. a friend rolled his car numerous times while blind drunk, hid in a barn, had a friend pick him up, cops came to his house the next morning and wrote him a ticket for leaving the scene, it was around $150
Earlier this month, Deputy Allen Gerhardt was working the midnight shift when he rushed to back up another deputy who had stopped an alleged drunk driver.
The deputy is considering a lawsuit, not against the county or town, but the alleged drunk driver. He says it will hopefully set a precedent.
So now what’s worse? A Mustang driver that can’t keep his vehicle under control, or a law enforcement officer that can’t keep his vehicle under control?
Doesn’t matter, in a single car accident, ALWAYS BLAME THE OTHER CAR.
